I installed Spiceworks on one of my networked workstations. It worked flawlessly and helped me to find and install a network printer that Vista Add Printer would not recognize on its own. Now I want to install Spiceworks on the main work station. After I download the software, Spiceworks wants me to fill in the same information I provided for the first remote workstation and it won't let me enter the login credentials I have already established. Should I just repeat the same information after the software installs?

You need to install Spiceworks on a server and have only one install. From there you will access that install via a browser. You will have access to all the same options and features and the network scan will scan all devices on your network. You might have to add additional user accounts on the scanner portion of Spiceworks if you are not in a domain and you have different administrative passwords for different computers. By default Spiceworks will run its web server on port 80 unless you already have a web server running on the machine you are installing spiceworks on (in which case it will use port 9675).

Once Spiceworks is installed I would sugguest setting it to run as a service and then you can open ports on your firewall to allow you to access your Spiceworks from across the internet when you are not in the office.

There is no need to have two spiceworks installs.

But to answer your question. Yes just put in the same information, and make sure you remove the other spiceworks install so you don't have two databases with different info in each one.
